OBSERVATIONS
MRS. C ’s
W IGS
F ro m th e S id e lin e s
By Kathryn H a ll Bogle
Chosen to be in "W ho's Who of
American W om en" is one o f Port­
land’s young women o f conspicuous
achievement, Andrea Hollie.
Andrea Hollie’s name will appear
in the pages o f the 1981 edition o f
" W h o ’ s W h o ,’ ’ the biographical
dictionary used by business
organizations, colleges, arts and
science organiztions and others, to
learn the whereabouts o f top-flight
women making significant con­
trib u tio n s to our nation and the
world.
" O f course I’ m delighted to be a
candidate,” says Mrs. Hollie. "A s
to how and why I've been chosen -
th a t’ s all a mystery to me! There
have been interviews by persons
from W ho’ s Who and they have
been checking and double-checking
the information about me for over a
year now and my place in their
listing is assured - but the certificate
w ill be issued to me at the time the
book is o ff the press.
"A nd, no, I don’t even know who
recommended me. That’ s the secret
o f ‘ Who’ s Who,’ ’ ’ Andrea laughs.
This lovely young woman w ith
beautiful clear skin and sparkling
brown eyes heads the M in o rity
Business Enterprise program at
Portland’s Tri-Met.
Here Andrea is the manager o f
her department, the agent with the
creative ideas who seeks contact
with women and other m inorities
who might benefit from making
business contracts with Tri-M et or
the areas o f construction, consulting
or vending affairs.
“ Most people,” says Mrs. Hollie,
"th in k s o f T ri-M e t as being in ­
terested only in busses and quan­
tities of gasoline. But,” she goes on,
"T ri-M e t is bigger than just busses
and gasoline. They are interested in
lots o f things, like landscaping, ar­
chitects, chemical proucts, business
machines and much more. They buy
from companies supplying their
needs in all those areas.
Tri-Met is also interested in small
business efforts. And that’s where I
function for them. We have over a
hundred m inority businesses listed.
It is a w onderful o p p o rtu n ity fo r
women. I consult with any and all
department heads, not just the pur­
chasing department - as T ri-M e t
really wants to spend at least 10% of
all its business w ith MBE. They
don’t want to confine their business
dealings to just large corporations,
and I am there to express company
policy everywhere.”
Andrea Hollie has always worked
with people and with people doing
business, and she is well prepared.
Born in W ashington, D .C .,
reared in Philadelphia where her
parents still live in Yadon, a suburb
o f the sprawling city, Andrea is an
Easterner transplanted to the North­
west. She received her bachelor
degree from Howard University, is
taking graudate work at Portland
State U niversity in International
Relations but is thinking o f shifting
to business administration.
Her first jo b right after college
gave Andrea a chance to work and
travel. She started with Philco-Ford
who were setting up manpower
training consortium s in various
cities. She was in Portland’ s Model
Cities program as supervisor o f the
evaluation unit evaluating the e f­
ficacy o f the entire Model Cities
program. Charles Jordan, now City
Com m issioner, was director o f
Model Cities at the time.
Mrs. H o llie also worked in the
Research and Evaluation Unit of the
Human Resources department un­
der the direction o f M ayor Neil
Goldschmidt. She won acclaim for
a jo b well done when as director,
she accomplished the highly suc­
cessful 1978 N A A C P convention
here in Portland. Plaudits still come

fo r
the
Philadelphia YW C A, Andrea has
inherited a strong admiration o f ar­
tistic pursuits. She would like to be
an interior designer, she says. She
likes music and has studied clarinet
fo r eight years, has a pleasant
soprano voice and has experienced”
the joys o f singing in choirs. Her
three younger sisters are well talent­

A ffilia tio n fo r Andrea includes
her membership in the Black
Womens Network and her comit-

and to her sorors o f Delta Sigma
Theta.
Andrea is married to Adell Hollie
II o f the Industrial M arketing de­
partment of Pacific Northwest Bell.
"H e has been my favorite conver­

have been together,” Andrea says.
‘ We are best o f friends’ as well as
husband and w ife.”

want to address this issue on that
level, if they insist on attacking the
in te g rity o f M r. D errick Bell
because he w ill not bend to their
desires, then i f its a fight they want
I’ m going to give them that fight.
I have to tell you: 1 have never
met Derrick Bell, the new Dean o f
the U niversity o f Oregon Law
School, but what I have read about
him, what people have to ld me
about him, I do not need to defend
him because he is very capable o f
defending him self. But what I am
going to defend is this great state.
These people - these people in those
top influential positions - to me is
unconscionable that they would at­
tack the program o f the E nviron­
mental Law Center to get at the
Dean, because he’ s a civil right ac­
tivist. And you know, they say these
civil rights activists are no different
than these environmentalists, and
Oregon doesn’ t need them, they say.
The Governor addressed the Joint
Session o f the Legislature ap­
proximately two weeks ago, and he
raised the spector o f racial bigotry
in this state. And f o r those o f you
who think that i t ‘s pranksters, that
you th in k i t ’s bigots who run
around in white cloaks, I would
suggest to you - racial bigotry knows
no economics, it knows no
educational, and it knows no social
barriers.
I am going to say this today, and
I ’ m going to say it again, that if
these individuals or these represen­
tatives want to attack the Environ­
mental Law Clinic and the Dean of
the Law School in the manner that
they are - if its a fight they want its a
fight they’ re going to get. Because I
think, as you do, that Oregon is not
the place that that type o f issue is
raised in attem pting to resolve an
issue that may have merit but can be
resolved very openly and very can­
didly.
In one disclaimer I want you to
know that we shouldn’ t be so quick
to blanket all the individuals in ­
volved in opposition to the En­
vironmental Law Clinic with what I
just said. But there is one individual
I know o f and his legal represen­
tative that made this presentation. I
would hope that when the Governor
meets w ith the Dean o f the Law
School this Thursday up in Portland
to introduce him at a dinner that the
Governor, who is very honest and a
very compassionate man, tell the
Dean that type of action will not be
tolerated in the State o f Oregon.
